For those of you who are fans of both old-fashioned camera techniques and origami, Corbis have created a website that might have just the thing for you.

The website has a number of camera designs that can be downloaded as pdfs and then printed off, with full instructions how to turn them into the workable pinhole cameras. Here is a selection of the designs, which were created by Fwis design studio especially for Corbis - we think they’re rather nice. Visit corbis.com/readycam to join in the fun.
